Warlock Magazine 7: The Temple of Testing Solution

[champskees]

The Temple of Testing is definitely one of the better Warlock adventures. The layout and design is quite strong, with great flexibility in how you achieve your goal. This being said, you will need a character with Skill 10+ in order to succeed. This solution is the ‘true path’ through the temple, and also perhaps one of the quickest.
